The Nintendo Switch's remarkable success proves that console power isn't everything. Its stellar library, a blend of Nintendo's first-party masterpieces, a strong selection of AAA third-party titles, and a vast array of indie gems, rivals the quality and quantity of most other platforms.

Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, two of the greatest games of the last decade, launched within the Switch's first year. And the best might still be yet to come! 2023 alone saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp, all console exclusives. 2024 continued the trend with more exclusive titles featuring Princess Peach and Zelda, and even two Mario RPGs!

January 2025 Nintendo Switch Games

Donkey Kong Country, Tales, and More

January 2025 boasts a surprisingly strong Nintendo Switch lineup, a rarity for a typically slow month. The variety is impressive, offering RPGs, platformers, Metroidvanias, and even a Star Wars title.
